The story begins with Baba bear,
mama bear, son bear along with neighbours and their children dancing away to
glory at the birthday party of the son bear. Friends of the son bear wish him
luck and happiness on his 15th birthday. Son bear’s Xth exams are just
over few days back and his birthday has come.
After all the fantastic
celebrations, the bear family retires to take rest. Mama bear and Baba bear
cuddle up in bed and the light goes dim. Yet they are tensed and discuss about
their son. He is done with his Xth exams and has to decide upon a career. Mama
and Baba bear want him to choose science as a career and become a scientist or
an engineer but they are sad as their son doesn’t show any interest in this
field. On the other hand son bear is happily opening up his gifts and is
delighted to have received so many marvellous ones.
Next morning when they discuss this
over breakfast, son bear says that he wants to be an actor and doesn’t want to
study science. When Baba and Mama bear get angry at him, son bear leaves the
table and shuts his room loud enough for his neighbours to hear. Just then the
telephone rings and when Baba bear picks up, a sweet lady voice says she wants
to speak to the son bear. As son bear picks up the telephone from his room,
Baba bear listens at the other end to the lady giving kisses and wishing son
bear a very happy birthday and demanding for a special treat. Baba and mama
bear feel hurt as son bear has been hiding about his girl friend.
As the story moves on there are
revolts between son bear and parent bears over taking up science or acting. Son
bear doesn’t fill up forms for science education and secretly applies to all
acting schools. Parents bear blame the girl friend bear to be responsible for
all this. As matters become worse, one day Baba bear suddenly gets a heart
attack. Now son bear loves his Baba bear a lot and for his sake gets admission
to a science college nearby his home. Son bear secretly prepares for getting an
admission to acting school. He joins the science school and when it gets over
he goes for a part time course to an acting school. After 2 years when the science
course and acting course get over parallely, his parents come to know about
it. Son bear manages to pass in his science education but is the topper in his
acting school. Now Baba bear understands how much his son has sacrificed for
his Dad’s health. The girl friend bear has revealed all this to the Baba and Mama
bears. Finally the son gets an admission to the top acting school for a
graduation degree where he excels and has offers to act in commercial
advertisements after joining college. The story ends on a happy note giving the
message to the audience to let their children do what they like because they
will excel in that. As a saying goes, ‘There would have been no Sachin
Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar if they had been forced to do something else.’
